FMS test

Movement Assessment – Why?

If your body’s movement control is deficient or if there are significant imbalances between your limbs, you may be susceptible to various unnoticed dysfunctions while exercising. These can lead to overuse injuries and various musculoskeletal issues. Movement assessment provides information about imbalances in your body and limitations in movement patterns, allowing you to engage in safe and effective training without unknowingly repeating incorrect movement patterns.

Movement Assessment – What and How?

At Esport’s fitness testing station, we use the FMS (Functional Movement Screen) test for movement assessment. It consists of a set of 7 easily performed movements that assess how different parts of your body work together. These test movements evaluate your mobility, balance, and body control. The test helps identify potential restrictions and weaknesses in your movement chain and allows us to design training that supports the necessary development.

FMS stands out for its simplicity and practicality in assessing the fundamental quality of movement. Participants do not require specific preparation for the test. FMS is suitable for anyone, and it makes it easy to track improvements in balance and movement control.

The movements included in the FMS test are:

• Deep Squat
• Hurdle Step
• Inline Lunge
• Shoulder Mobility
• Active Straight Leg Raise
• Push-Up
• Trunk Stability

Price for Movement Assessment: 150 €

The test package includes the execution of the FMS test, a results report, an individualized exercise program, and a review of the exercises.

Time required for the test package: 90 minutes
